Weeks 5 to 12
Guidelines:
Do not "multi-task" while eating. Sit down and focus on your meal. This will help you realize when you are full more quickly than mindlessly eating while reading, watching TV, etc. Often we associate activities with eating (such as TV) and therefore eat while doing that activity even if not hungry.

Weeks 9 to 12
Guidelines:
It sounds silly, but sucking in your stomach throughout the day can actually help tighten your abs and whittle your waist. No one even has to know you're doing it. Just suck in your stomach for five minutes of time throughout the day. This can really help if your exercise options are limited and many women have managed to lose whole dress sizes after just a few weeks.
